>>He was offered, by the director of the charter, free tuition if he would just pay the “technology expenses”. Like a petulant little boy, he picked up his marbles and went home rather than paying the technology fees.<<

If he had paid the technology fee and taken the tuition, it would have been illegal. You can’t take gifts from constituents when you are in congress. And his enemies would have torn him up. Don’t let your dislike of him make you think irrationally.

Sorry you don’t like the man, but he paid his taxes and unlike you he lived there, be it part time. If he wasn’t Rick Santorum, who was hated by the left long before he was running for president, this would be a moot point.

You can hang him on a technicality. I’m not.

I voted for him twice so don't go there.

His in-laws lived next door and when he visited PA he and his family stayed with his in-laws. If you read the reports at the time, the house wasn't even furnished.

He did not live there, even part time.

I'm sure they could have worked it into a campaign contribution like they did from Accu-weather.
